Staying Ahead of the Game: Developing Leaders for the Future

Hans Westerbeek and Aaron Smith

Chapter Chapter 8 in Business Leadership and the Lessons from Sport, 2005, pp 159-185 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Nearly 37 years ago and with little more than a smattering of English, a fistful of money, 21 inch biceps and the American dream, Arnold Schwarzenegger arrived in the United States. He would fulfill that dream and in so doing turn his hand to a range of leadership challenges, all of which have so far proven successful. Schwarzenegger’s approach to leadership reflects some of his early lessons as a professional bodybuilder, characterized by discipline and training but also with what some have viewed as an overmasculinized and Machiavellian spirit of competition. Perhaps as much as anything, an objective view of Schwarzenegger’s career reveals a man capable of developing himself as a leader in ever escalating circumstances.
